How does this rum taste?
The Raw Cask Rum LROK is a distinctive Jamaican rum distilled at Hampden distillery in 2000, aged for 16 years, and bottled by Blackadder. Notable for its robust ester profile, the rum presents smoky notes and overripe fruit, particularly pineapple. Tasting impressions highlight its well-balanced character with a full-bodied palate. The raw cask inclusion enhances its complexity, presenting an authentic Jamaican spirit experience. It features a punchy yet controlled 56.1% ABV. Limited to only 236 bottles, this release is a rare collector's item praised for its quality and complexity. User reviews often mention its smooth mouthfeel and interesting, though sometimes divisive, bitter woody finish. The Hampden essence shines through, providing an engaging, classic rum experience.

That's where the action is. One of the best LROK I've ever had. Correct nevertheless after eight months my rating from 87 to 86.
Sehe guter Hampden. Klassische Mandeln, Buttersäure. Toller Hampden und die Aschestückchen in der Flasche haben auch Flair.
Tasting-Abend bei Dr. Django (Jamaica): Der Black Adder zeigt ganz schön Power, obwohl er eine nicht ganz so hohe ABV hat. An der Nase sehr klassische Hampden-Essenz , am Gaumen hat er perfekte Trinkstärke, cremig weich verteilt er sich, um dann die volle Aromenvielfalt zu präsentieren. Der Abgang ist mittellang. Eine klasse Abfüllung.
A real bomb. Very complex ester and lovely . A lot going on without being overwhelming. I am quite happy with the rawcask bits. But it is not as good as I remember it. Really top of the lrok line though
